Crisis and infrastructures: responses to change between materiality and immateriality
A dialogue between Anthropology, Geography and History
The purpose of the conference is to explore the interactions between crised and infrastructures starting from a pivotal question: is it possibile to consider transitional processes as moments of "a transformazion that includes some essential elements of the previous phase?" (Pombeni 2013: 12) Or are they to be intended just as a dramatic interruptions and breaks? PhD Students, Post-Docs and Research Fellows of historical, geographical and anthropological training are invited to partecipate in the construction of a moment of dialogue and excange. The aim is to stimulate an interdisciplinary discussion that will encompass all historiographical epochs, from antiquity to the present day, and question not only the role of infrastructure in the resolution of crises, but also the various implications of critical moments and of their conception.

International migrations and labour from the 70s to the present
Since the 70s the presence of migrants in Europe, and especially in Italy, has become a structural issue and has been at the center of the public and political debate. The progressive demolition of welfare systems, the job precariousness, and new consumer lifestyles have generated different responses in terms of regulation of the admissions of foreign citizens in search of a job and their management (housing issues, access to health care, etc.). Both with regard to organization of forms of protection of immigrants in the exercise of theirs fundamental rights, especially in cases of serious discrimination and exploitation (immigrant associations, trade union action, etc.).

La città multietnica nel mondo mediterraneo
Storia, cultura, patrimonio
This meeting aims to foster a discussion about the continuities and disruptions which have conditioned the multi-ethnic dimension of our cities. We would like to focus on the specificities of places and time in our millennial history that have produced both tangible and intangible cultural heritage (a heritage which today seems strongly under attack). We aim for a historical perspective – by drawing attention on well-documented case-studies offering comparative insights – without however forgetting to ask ourselves the meaning of our research in the troubled world we live in; without anachronisms, but also without hiding behind the pretext of specialisms, while in front of our eyes the Mediterranean world is more than ever a theatre of death, exclusion, suffering.

Spaces, Norms, and Representations (Europe and Mediterranean, 14th-19th centuries)
Cet atelier doctoral de cinq jours permettra d’interroger la place des minorités dans des espaces et des temps divers. Alors que l’Europe n’en finit pas de se confronter à la question de la place qu’elle peut et qu’elle veut faire à des minorités extrêmement diverses (nationales, ethniques, religieuses, immémorialement implantées ou à peine arrivées, etc.), il paraît nécessaire de réfléchir aujourd’hui à la place des minorités sur la longue durée et de manière critique – c’est-à-dire, d’abord, en soumettant à une réflexion critique la notion de « minorité », trop couramment acceptée sans examen.

Inhabiting movement, 16th-21st centuries
L’atelier thématique a pour objet la relation entre mobilité et modes d’habiter l’espace, selon une perspective interdisciplinaire et de longue durée. Le choix de cette thématique puise ses racines dans plusieurs projets collectifs et recherches individuelles menées au sein de l’UMR TELEMME et de la MMSH. La notion d’habiter proposée dans cet atelier est comprise dans le sens le plus large du terme : « faire avec l’espace », qui ne se limite pas à celui de « résider stablement », mais qui est aussi synonyme de fréquenter, d’être dans un lieu pour des raisons diverses et triviales : travailler, s’amuser, se réfugier, s’abriter, se réunir, se promener, parcourir, boire et manger, etc.

Africa narrates itself: media, opinions, influential figures
These days communication and information are characterized by immediacy, speed, and interactivity. Facebook and Instagram accounts, YouTube channels, and blogs transmit a perpetual flow of information, shared videos, pictures, and other content which creates networks and incentivizes sharing in a constantly evolving language. Contemporary mass media therefore ensures that, today more than ever, people in African countries are at the same time autonomous producers and users of a debate, through partly traditional, partly innovative channels, about life in Africa and African communities’ identity, with a tale that travels across the borders of individual countries and the continent itself.

Children on the move from the 20th to the 21st century
A biopolitics perspective
Migrant children are often at the crossroads of conflicting priorities related to local and global issues (conflict, displacement, poverty, (under)development). Throughout history, states, organisations, institutions, and communities have tried to manage and control migrants and migratory processes. While the latter topic has been the subject of extensive research, the study of child migration lags behind. This workshop aims to address this gap by adopting Foucault’s theoretical framework of biopolitics – a control apparatus exerted over a population – to the case of children.

The hinterlands of the Mediterranean
L'arrière-pays des villes de mer
Organisé dans le cadre du Laboratoire international associé (LIA) MediterraPolis, le colloque vise à promouvoir une réflexion interdisciplinaire (sociologie, urbanisme, histoire, géographie et économie) sur les hinterlands – les territoires qui entourent les villes portuaires – dans le contexte des grandes agglomérations en Méditerranée. Au cours des siècles, les hinterlands se sont profondément transformés, dans leurs paysages, leurs habitats et leurs morphologies, avec des ceintures, des fragmentations et des conurbations changeantes, jusqu’à la formation des aires métropolitaines. L’objectif de ce colloque est d’étudier ces évolutions de longue durée, et de développer une réflexion sur les rapports multiples qui lient les villes et leurs hinterlands, observés notamment au prisme des mobilités qui façonnent les territoires métropolitains.

Overlapping perspectives on the history of “ancient forests”
In ecological, economic and social terms, “ancient forests” play numerous roles. Their definition varies not only from country to country but also according to disciplinary fields. Studying “ancient forests” can involve separating “old-growth forests” from “ancient woodland”, forests that have disappeared and, in the case of “current forests”, those that are not actually very old at all! This conference aims to exchange views and ideas on “ancient forests” including both retrospective and prospective issues. Better understanding their past highlights the key issues of their status, protection and promotion in our current societies and opens up new perspectives about the future of « ancient forests ». Foresters, planners, developers, ecologists, biologists, agriculturalists, geographers, historians, philosophers, ethnologists, cartographers, archaeologists, archaeobotanists, sociologists etc., from all backgrounds, are invited to join this debate about our various and varying concepts of “ancient forests”.

Mixed marriages in the European societies, 18th-21th century
For a social history of the matrimonial mixity
Les migrations contemporaines et les interrogations croissantes sur les juxtapositions de groupes religieux ou ethniques différents ont stimulé ces dernières décennies un intérêt évident pour la question de la mixité matrimoniale dans le monde d’aujourd’hui, mais aussi dans les sociétés anciennes. Dans le champ historique, cet intérêt a été en outre renforcé par le développement spécifique de plusieurs axes de recherches : l’histoire des migrations, des réseaux marchands, des diasporas, des sociétés urbaines, ou encore des sociétés coloniales.

From risk to resilience, from past to present: critical perspectives and comparative approaches
2016 Summer School of the Cluster of Excellence Territorial and Spatial Dynamics (LabEx DynamiTe)
This Summer School will give precedence to exploratory work that does not take the concept of resilience for granted but rather examines the social and historical conditions of its use by the scientific community. Thus, a constant dialogue between past and present case studies shall be offered, involving geographers, sociologists, historians and archeologists. By comparing sites distant in both time and space, common mechanisms that lead to system resilience or on the contrary to major qualitative system reorganizations can be identified.

The Mediterranean: young people, migrations and development
The aim of the international conference on youth, migrations and development around the Mediterranean, is to highlight the new interdisciplinary research perspectives that are currently emerging on these issues. The conference seeks to bring together members of the scientific community as well as civil society and institutional actors who are interested in the relationship between young people, migrations and development in the Mediterranean area. More specifically, its main objective is to provide a broad overview of the current state of research on three specific populations: descendants of migrants (the so-called “second generation”); children of refugees; unaccompanied minors.

Beyond the great beauty. Rescaling heritage and tourism
Intimate relationships exist between the enhancement and preservation of cultural heritage and tourism as a fundamental driver for regional development. The time has come to give due recognition to there scaling processes affecting heritage and tourism destinations, intended both as upscaling and downscaling. Rescaling heritage andtourism destinations can be seen as both a strategy pursued by national and regional agencies, or as unintended consequences of the constant interplay between an increasingly complex array of stakeholders, including cross-national institutions and local communities.

Travel and Sojourn in the Early Nineteenth Century
Beyond Naples, toward Amalfi and Sorrento
During the first half of the nineteenth century traveling and sojourning in Europe reflected a cultural climate marked by both resistance and enthusiasm. The conference is intended as well to cast light on the evolving changes in travel and sojourn in Naples and localities along the gulf during the first half of the nineteenth century, not failing to draw comparisons with other areas of Mediterranean Europe.

Banlieues : quelles représentations contemporaines des quartiers « sensibles » ?
Depuis les trente dernières années, le mot banlieue désigne l’inscription territoriale d’une question sociale, comme le souligne l’historienne experte de la banlieue parisienne Annie Fourcaut. Très en vogue dans les débats médiatiques et politiques, notamment depuis les premières émeutes urbaines médiatisées des années 1990 jusqu’à arriver aux plus violentes en 2005, les banlieues entendues comme quartiers « sensibles », semblent rassembler autour d’elles et de leur jeunesse surtout, les connotations les plus disparates et péjoratives : paupérisation socio / économique, ségrégation résidentielle, dégradation du bâtiment, violence et délinquance. Le projet de ce colloque s’inscrit dans ce contexte d’actualité et vise à réfléchir sur les représentations sociales et artistiques contemporaines de ces lieux, incluant la littérature et les arts visuels tels que le cinéma, la photographie et les arts urbains.
